The First Lady rates political singers, including her husband

Michelle Obama went on the The Tonight Show last night for the first time since becoming First Lady and let it slip that the president sings to her all the time.

Last month the president sang Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together in an impromptu moment before starting a speech at the Apollo Theater.

When she heard about it, Michelle Obama said she knew right away it would have been that song, adding that he sings Al Green and Marvin Gaye songs to her quite frequently. Their daughters, she said, do not find the singing amusing.

“Anything we do is highly embarrassing,” she said. “They just want us to be very quiet.”

Jay Leno then asked about another politician whose singing has gotten some attention lately. Mitt Romney sangAmerica the Beautiful in Florida this week.

“It’s a beautiful song,” Michelle Obama said. “And it is America’s song. It’s a song that’s meant to be sung by every American.”
